Email and video from customer: Use full screen and turn the volume up. 118 mph mid-air colision at vety end of short video.

We put the Drastick together with the DLE 35 RA. It is a speed demon. Crow flaps worked really well. I made a few low passes across the field at 118 MPH.

We were fine tuning the engine and had the field to ourselves as everyone was giving us the space we needed to make low passes to test the prop and engine setup. A friend of mine was taking video with his IPhone. We werenít ready to start filming with our cameras yet as I had a few tweaks I needed to make.

Some dumb Axxxx (without calling out he was taking off) took off with an electric foam P-38. We didnít even know he was in the air. I started to make a high speed low pass and the engine coughed a couple of times. As the plane was about mid field I banked it left to come around and land to tweak the needles a little bit.
When I banked left I hit this P-38 square in the middle of the of its wings right on the nose cone of the Drastick. This was the second flight right after the maiden. The P-38 evaporated. The Drastick was paralyzed because the collision cut all power to the receiver. When we got to the crash site we couldnít find any P-38 parts and do you know why?
The twin electric motors, speed controllers, servos, receiver, props, and batteries were in the fuselage and wing of the Drastick. The collision didnít hurt the Drastick beyond repair but it went in nose first because I had no control of the servos.

Here is the video of the collision. Again, this was only taken with his iPhone and not intended as the video for the plane. He had just stopped recording because I was coming around to land but he got the collision right before the camera turned off.
